Matilda thumps herself on the forehead, "Yes! That's it! A Flan...of course, how could I have missed that. Say, you're pretty smart there Mr. Tarrin sir. I say we should keep going as we are going and say 'hi' to the other travellers. We could even ask them about the state of the road ahead."

She turns to Rannos, "You know, something like: 'Ho travellers, have ye any news of the road ahead?' And then we could tell them that there are definately NO ogres and orc hordes on the road behind us. Seeing as you're the boss, you could wow them with your firm voice of command, huh?"

As she speaks, she calmly loads her crossbow and sets it aside (but within easy reach).
